Hey everyone! I just bought my mustang from a little old lady that lived in farm country. She only drove it in the summer and kept it garaged for the rest of the year. Its a 1994 Mustang GT Convertible with the 5.0! I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw it only had 42k miles on it. Anyway, since it has the stock 17" rims I am looking to put on some bullitts for the summer.

Any problems with fitting 17" x 10.5" and 315x35x17 tires on the back for this model?

Also leave me some suggestions about what finish I should get the bullitts in. Black with chrome lip, all chrome, anthracite or hypercoated?

THE CAR IS A DARK BLUEISH GREEN. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about thanks for the suggestions!

I'm running 315-35/17 out back with no problem and 275-40/17 out front. Chrome bullitts on a chrome Yellow GT. I really wanted the black with chrome lip but I didn't think it would look right with no other black on the outside of my car. They probably would look good on a darker car though.

Again, the 17x10.5 rims will fit as long as they're made for the 94-04 Mustangs. You might get a bit of rubbing on the wheel well; if you do, just dent in that part of the wheel well with a hammer. I've also heard some folks have had trouble with the lip on the fender cutting into the tire, but I haven't experienced it myself.

I am also running 275-40/17 front and 315-35/17 rear but I removed the quad shocks and had to bend the parking brake brackets down some. But they fit pretty good and look good otherwise.
